More than once, someone said that eating mayo straight out of the jar was disgusting—which aside from it having nothing to do with the conversation, I couldn't argue with.
Mayo hatred isn't some new phenomenon —but damn, why does it persist beyond sound logic? The common theme was the unsettling and gelatinous shelf-stable nature of the jarred stuff, or past encounters with old, congealed mayo.
They had experienced the condiment at its absolute worst and were thus scarred for life. I get that, but we've all had bad food—bad burgers, bad pizza, bad sushi. I got violent food poisoning from a pork chile verde burrito once, but it didn't send me tailing off into the alt-right of burrito opinions. Do mayo haters have parallel textural issues? Does melty ice cream make their skin crawl? Sour cream? Kinda gross, but also delightful! Sour cream with good PR. Nacho cheese is some nasty shit but I would definitely bathe in it.
Anyone who's ever had Kewpie, or Duke's, or silky, light-as-air handmade mayo knows the truth. This place is two blocks from my apartment. It's never open except sometimes for like two hours on Saturdays, during which time NO ONE goes in to buy mayo for obvious reasons , which leads me to believe that it's some kind of hipster mafia front.

There is a reason, rooted in food science , to include mayonnaise on sandwiches — moist food tastes better. The moisture helps the saliva in our mouth work more effectively and carries more flavors than dry foods.
A little bit of olive oil, or olive oil and vinegar , works as well, as does mustard hold the mayo. And turning to other condiments opens up a world of flavor: one of my favorite burger spot puts a tomato fig jam on their burger. Not only did the sandwich not need the extra moisture, but based on its soggy visage it arguably made the sandwich worse. On a recent trip to Pittsburgh I ordered a chicken sandwich.
The sandwich as listed on the menu contained: a bun, grilled chicken in a tequila glaze, pepper jack cheese, pico de gallo, and lettuce. Apparently, mayonnaise is so integral to a sandwich — more so than bread—that its inclusion is not worth a menu mention. Republicans and Democrats have both made appearances in Glasgow for the giant climate conference.
